We have been asked questions and more so, judged. There are a lot of myths that general public and even newbie healers carry about being a healer. Here are some of the misconceptions about healers that we have come across.
We are Perfect, living perfect lives
We have our own issues that we have to, and are constantly working on, just as you do. Of course we have been working on ourselves and our issues (That is what makes us understand yours too!). However, we all are works in progress.
We don’t get tired – or sick!
Healers may have higher frequency but we are not infallible, nor are we bottomless pits of energy. Of course we don’t use our own energy to heal, but channeling of the divine energy for healing does get tiring. Also, while we do not get the flu often, when we do, it does have a heavy toll!
Healers are Brittle
Being empaths (or slowly turning into one), we really are sensitive to emotions, However, we are not highly strung nor are we brittle. Having faced and known suffering, we seem to process the energies in a different way. Also, it takes years (or lives if you will) of training to manage and detach ourselves from the emotions and energies around us.
We are omniscient – All Knowing
One of the most common misconceptions about healers. We are only the conduits for the will of the Para Brahman, nothing more. Some of us maybe gifted and may get answers to your queries about your lost keys but it is not ordained! Healers/Psychics are not all seeing and all knowing. We cannot go against destiny, if it is meant to be, it will happen – in time.
We can Snap Our Fingers and Heal You
Healing is not a magic wand that we can twirl and say abracadabra and voila! Of course there are miracles but most of the time it doesn’t happen like that. Most of us are not looking for a golden egg but want to help you truly. It usually takes weeks or even months of digging to get to the core beliefs and release the trapped energy.
Reading into You All The Time
We maybe able to tune into and read your energies but that doesn’t mean we are doing so all the time! Firstly it is tiring, secondly, it is misuse and thirdly, we don’t want to be reminded of the human struggles!
We are Channeling/ Healing All The Time
If we download any information, be rest assured that it will be relayed to you. It might happen during the daily meditation but is unlikely. It is one of the misconceptions about healers that we are always connected. Outside the session, we are generally thinking about ourselves and our lives. We too are human and want to think of work outside of office as much as you do!
We Should Work For Free
Okay, let us be fair, Energy exchange has always been there in the healing circles – Shamans/ medicine men were given part of produce, or lodging and boarding by the gentry. It might be possible for some of us to work for free – only if they are provided lodging and boarding. Working for no cost at all would mean that there will be no energy exchange and therein lies the real problem. You see, we don’t want to have an unpaid obligation for which we have to take rebirth!
We Are Bad and Can Harm You
It really tickles us when we are equated with Black Magicians and such like. We understand that the unknown is scary but we do have a conscience and awareness. It is pretty funny sometimes though.
